Saturday Night (Jason Reitman, October 11th 2024) • Page 5

Felt kinda bad hearing Blank Check and Doughboys shitting on this when Paul Rust is in it.

 

I personally didn’t mind this at all. Not sure how much more he could have done with the material

 

Weren’t the Doughboys fairly diplomatic with their comments? Felt like they said it was okay.

 

he’s in like five seconds of combined screen time and has one line. i doubt he cared that much lol

 

20mins in havent laughed. they better put Chevy back on or im turning it off

 

Thats enough. I didnt like Birdman and I liked it even less as a blowjob for a television show.

 

Weird? I thought this was pretty good. He did a good job of making the night seem pretty exciting, manic, and he made it feel like a humongous entertainment zeitgeist moment in time. Not sure what people were expecting? Thought the actors and portrayal were tight.

I like this kind of stuff and seeing this moment with all of these heavy hitters about to debut on a big stage....and i like the usage of Milton Berle and Lorne going to the other sound stage when they're still recording a very dated variety hour show. I like old Hollywood stuff too and it made me take a deeper dive into early snl

 

Yeah I actually watched this again the other day and still enjoyed it a lot

 

Besides Morris I think the guy who played Michael Donoghue is my other favorite performance in this. His contribution to that original outsider tone of SNL is really underrated in most modern retrospectives so it was cool to see him get a lot of time here.

 

honestly the majority of the performances in this were fairly good to great, the script and direction are just so lifeless. i would say it felt like it was directed by AI but saying it’s a reitman movie more or less gets that point across anyways.
